The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Seeing the slight change in Dean Amisha's expression, Moran knew she had guessed correctly and continued:

"My strength is growing steadily now, and my resources are still quite abundant."

This expense is really nothing to me.

"Leaving aside the profits from selling cards, my mana, which regenerates naturally every minute, is more than enough to craft these cards."

"Magic regeneration in one minute?" Amisha's pupils contracted, her tone filled with disbelief and astonishment. "What... what rank are you at now?"

“I’m still a little short of reaching the sixth rank,” Moran replied calmly.

The sound wasn't loud, but it exploded in everyone's ears like thunder. In an instant, the area around Moran and Amisha seemed to be silenced, falling into a deathly stillness.

Sixth level?

Amisha is several hundred years old. Before becoming the headmistress of the Witch Academy, she explored the Well of Heaven to improve her magical talent and learn various types of magic. She was revered as an all-around witch who surpassed the peak, but her magic level was actually only just stabilized at around the fifth level.

And Moran, who graduated only a few decades ago, has already touched the threshold of the sixth rank?!
Those witches who haven't yet reached their peak may not have a clear concept of this, but those like Amisa and Tracy who have actually been to the Well of Heaven and witnessed a wider world and power system truly understand the insurmountable gap between each level.

The combined magical power of ten fifth-tier witches is barely comparable to that of a single being who has just entered the sixth tier!

Amisha was overwhelmed with emotion and didn't know what to say. She instinctively turned to her teacher, her voice slightly hoarse: "Teacher, back then... how long did it take you to go from level one to level six?"

"..." Ms. Tracy was silent for a moment, as if reviewing those long years, and finally let out a soft breath, "Several hundred years, I suppose."

Since the situation in the Witch Wilderness stabilized, she has been taking turns with Anita and Carmela to explore the Sky Well. They have been going there for hundreds of years, traversing countless other worlds and completing countless missions. Only now have they barely reached the seventh rank.

Moran, on the other hand, had just recently traveled to the Sky Well and explored two other worlds, one of which he had visited using an invitation from a close friend, yet he was already about to advance to the sixth rank.

While the friend invitation is convenient, it doesn't offer any tasks or rewards.

At this stage, the natural growth of magic power becomes very slow, and one must rely on items such as the Origin Magic Crystals obtained from quest rewards that can permanently increase magic power.

That's why explorers keep going to other worlds to explore and do missions.

But Moran completely escaped this rule.

She looked at Moran with a complicated expression: "Your growth rate... is so fast that I'm envious!"

"Most of the money comes from card magic. However, the card magic market in Valen is now basically saturated, and the growth in new contractors and spending is stabilizing. In the future, magic power growth will probably not be as fast as before."

Moran also realized that he was approaching a bottleneck: "Unfortunately, apart from the world where we grow up, other other worlds will not allow us to promote and sell witch magic on a large scale."

A spellcaster's body, soul, and the magical energy they wield are essentially part of the resources of their world.

The worlds connected by the Well of Heaven instinctively prevent explorers from other worlds from plundering their resources on a large scale.

“It’s not that such a world doesn’t exist at all…” Tracy said with some emotion.

She originally thought that Moran would not come into contact with these things for a long time, but she did not expect her growth rate to far exceed expectations.

It involves certain secrets of the Sky Well and the other world, which are not convenient to discuss in detail in front of the many witches who have never set foot there.

Seeing that everyone had finished eating and the atmosphere was relaxed, she took the opportunity to invite them: "Shall we go for a walk in the distant mountains? The scenery there looks quite unique."

“Of course!” Moran readily agreed.

She sent her witch friends a copy of the "Mirror Space Ecological Zone Tour Guide" that she had prepared beforehand.

The guide is richly illustrated and provides detailed descriptions and habits of the otherworldly mirror beasts and magical plants in each ecological zone. It even indicates which areas are interactive and which require maintaining distance.

The witches, upon receiving the guide, were greatly intrigued. They immediately hopped into small groups and rode their flying brooms, eagerly heading towards different ecological zones such as snow-capped mountains, bays, and forests, ready to explore this world thoroughly.

As Moran's flying carpet carried Tracy into the air, it lagged behind the others, slowly heading towards a relatively secluded mountain forest area.

She casually took out a small tea set, and the shadow pet poured them steaming hot tea.

"You just said that there are worlds that allow the large-scale promotion and sale of witch magic?" Moran asked impatiently.

Instead of answering directly, Tracy asked in return, "Have you heard of Level Zero Worlds and Endangered Worlds?"

Upon hearing this, Moran carefully recalled the knowledge he had learned from the Otherworld Archives: "I know about Level Zero Worlds. They refer to worlds where intelligent beings have not yet mastered magical energy, where the level of life is relatively low, and where the world consciousness is relatively weak."

She paused, then added with a hint of uncertainty, "As for endangered worlds... do you mean those worlds that are about to be destroyed?"

Moran had not seen any concrete information about endangered worlds, and only made some guesses based on the experience of the destruction of Earth.

"More precisely, endangered worlds refer to those worlds in which the intelligent races within them face extinction for various reasons, resulting in extremely weak world consciousness and the risk of dissipation."

Tracy took a sip of tea, then slowly corrected and explained:

"What these two types of worlds have in common is that their world consciousness is extremely weak. So weak that they cannot actively contact the Sky Well to issue missions, nor can they stop powerful explorers from descending and acting within it."

For explorers, once their strength reaches the sixth tier, the rewards provided by the regular otherworldly quests within the Sky Well gradually become insufficient to meet their needs.

At this level, many experienced explorers will leave the Well of the Sky platform and turn their attention to the wider depths of the universe, actively seeking out these endangered worlds or level zero worlds, harvesting the residual energy of the world consciousness, and using special methods to condense it into primordial magic crystals.

Of course, not everyone chooses to plunder. Carmela and I, for example, mostly choose to rescue these worlds, guide their intelligent races towards a better development path, help the world's consciousness turn danger into safety, and even promote the improvement of the world's level.

If successful, the rewards from the world's feedback will be incredibly generous, far exceeding any regular mission within the Sky Well. (End of Chapter)
